Looking at the moon
2:22am, sitting with my dog Georgia on the steps and listening to the night around me. I am packed and (once I sleep) ready to wake up in the morning and head to the airport. At this time of the night there is no reason to be up, but drifting through the sounds and my wanderings I keep seeing a picture of Aslan sitting and gazing joyfully at the moon. (Funny how these images of Narnia spring up - must be from reading the stories to the boys so often.) It is cloudy outside, but the moon of my imagination is round, large and reflective enough to hold all that is inside; I feel the gaze of God upon me. All is well.

Mary - I've been thinking about you constantly since I arrived home Sunday, and wanted so badly to see you before you flew off. However, Martin has a bad infection in his leg again and we are busy with IV antibiotics, nurses, and all the other stresses of the situation. He is not in hospital - he refused to be admitted and I'm glad. Don't think I could have handled that again.
Have a wonderful trip. Those pastors are so blessed to have you on their side and by their side for this time. And when you get to Australia please hug Charles and Rita for me and give them my love.
I will be praying for and thinking about you until you get home again.
Grace!

Mary, May God grant you traveling mercies. May you know the deep presence of Jesus, the steady hand of the Father and the breath of the Spirit as you begin this month long adventure. Much grace and peace.... al
